When dating someone we are often told to look for red flags that help us know that this person may not be the best partner. Recently, there’s been a push to start looking for green flags, which are signs that the person you’re dating will make a good partner. Green flags can be really subtle things and in a recent interview on the Meet Cutes NYC account on TikTok, one guy shows so many green flags he’s got people questioning if they’re on the wrong dating app.
Meet Cutes NYC uploads videos of them stopping random people who appear to be couples and ask them if they are indeed dating. Joaquim and Tara happen to be the lucky couple to get stopped for an interview and immediately Joaquim emits green flag energy according to TikTokker Jordan_the_Stallion8.
“Firstly, he was doing the sidewalk rule by where you’r supposed to walk on the outside part of the sidewalk that’s facing the street while your partner walks on the inside part. Secondly, as they’re walking and someone approaches them, immediately he gets protective, he gets defensive,” Jordan says. “He was defesive until they were asked a question about how they first met and then the excitement that he had because he had the opportunity to talk about his partner.”
People in the comments of the original video were also gushing over Joaquim’s reaction and responses. When the couple mentions they met on Hinge, a popular dating app, people started to wonder what Hinge the couple were talking about. Some even going as far as to demand that the app use them in their marketing campaigns.
“Dude went from aggressive to lover boy,” someone writes.
“He was so New York in the beginning and then turned to a puppy talking about his love, protect that man,” another says.
“This man, is THE man. Sidewalk rule, protective until threats assessed, and proudly in love. King,” one commenter recognizes.
“Am I on a different Hinge or what,” someone jokes.
“Hinge marketing team better do something with this for real,” a commenter declares.

It’s beyond clear that Joaquim loves Tara even telling the interviewer, “I have no idea how I lived all these years without her.” The couple seem extremely supportive and proud of each other and now they’ve got an entire internet community rooting for their continued success.
